To Everyone at The Draughting Academy,
Thank you for making my experience at the Academy so memorable! As someone that had no draughting experience prior to attending the academy, I felt very comfortable and truly mentored throughout the course. I learnt a tremendous amount thanks to all the lecturers' patience and guidance, and am now in a position I could never have dreamed of. Thank You!

Stephanie Kaiser, Alumni Student

I am writing this letter to strongly recommend The Draughting Academy for your future study course. I myself enrolled with the The Draughting Academy back in 2013 at the Sandton campus and have to say that I was not disappointed at all about the course they offered. Since I graduated from The Draughting Academy at the end of 2013 I started working in February 2014 as a Structural Draughtsman in Randburg/Northcliff. For someone like myself who had no background in working with AutoCAD I was quite impressed in how fast I learned to use the program. I am not disappointed at all and would definitely enrol for the Revit short course when I have time.

JJ de Jager, Structural Draughtsman, Alumni Student

I have been a Draughtsman for 8+ years and thought that I knew all there is to know about Draughting. All I can say is, “I was wrong”. The Draughting Academy made me a better, more accurate and more sufficient Draughtsman. Thank you for helping me to hone myself into a proficient and more confident Draughtsman. By far the best thing that could ever happen to my Draughting carrier!
